Tetrapotassium EDTA

Tetrapotassium EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is used to remove soap film and hard-water scale in a wide range of cleaning products, including hard-surface cleaners, liquid soaps, laundry detergents, antimicrobial cleaners and commercial products. It also helps maintain the product's appearance and prevents deterioration.

Alkyl C12-18 dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (or "quat") and is added to products as cleaning agents, or as antimicrobial agents in EPA-registered disinfecting cleaning products.

Alkyl C12-14 Dimethylethylbenzyl Ammonium Chloride

Alkyl C12-14 dimethylethylbenzyl ammonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (or "quat") and is added to products as cleaning agents, or as antimicrobial agents in EPA-registered disinfecting cleaning products.

C9-C11 Alkyl Polyglucoside

C9-C11 alkyl polyglucoside is a mild surfactant used in household and commercial cleaning products. It is known for its foam-boosting ability, lack of streaking and easy rinsing.

Cocamidopropylamine Oxide

Cocamidopropylamine oxide (C12-14 alkylamidopropylamine oxide) is a cleaning agent often used along with additional surfactants in laundry and other cleaning products. It can be added as a primary cleaning agent, foam enhancer, stabilizer or thickener.

d-Limonene

d-Limonene is used in cleaning products to help dissolve stains and soils and as a fragrance component. A member of a class of chemicals called terpenes, d-Limonene is obtained from the rinds of citrus fruits. It has been identified as a potential allergen by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, an advisory board to the European Union.

Dimethicone/Silica/PEG Distearate Antifoam

Dimethicone/silica/PEG distearates are used mainly as defoamers, although they are also emollients, lubricants and thickeners in cleaning products. They can be used to give formulas a smooth coating, while enabling evaporation without leaving a greasy residue.

Fragrance

Fragrances and perfumes are mixtures of fragrant essential oils, aroma compounds, fixatives and solvents. They are used in cleaning products to add a particular scent (lavender, lemon, etc.) to clothes and homes, and to mask unpleasant odors. Clorox provides a separate list of all the fragrance ingredients used in our household and professional cleaning, disinfecting and laundry products.
